Men Nguyen ties Phil Ivey, Billy Baxter with seventh World Series of Poker bracelet

Courtesy Photo | WSOPMen Nguyen captured his seventh WSOP bracelet and first since 2003.When someone such as Men "The Master" Nguyen wins a World Series of Poker bracelet, it's time adjust the history books.

With his victory in the WSOP's $10,000 buy-in seven-card stud world championship, Nguyen now has seven bracelets, moving him into a tie for sixth with Phil Ivey and Billy Baxter.

While Phil Hellmuth, who tops the WSOP bracelet list with 11, is known as "The Poker Brat," Nguyen certainly has his own unique -- and sometimes agitating -- style at the table.

Nguyen spent some of the final table playing with reckless aggression and without even looking at his hole cards, and some surely would find his banter with runner-up Brandon Adams to be over the line at times.

But, like him or not, Nguyen has his 67th career WSOP cash, second all time to Hellmuth's 76 and second of this year's WSOP. It's his first bracelet since 2003, a World Series where he won two events and placed runner-up in two others.

Event No. 5 ($1,500 no-limit hold'em) -- Praz Bansi won his second bracelet by outlasting 2,091 other players and defeating Vincent Jacques in heads-up play. Bansi also finished third in the 2009 WSOP Europe main event. Hudsonville's Christopher Petrick (70th, $6,086) was the top Michigan finisher.
